And he kicks off his amazing #FiqhOfDawah seminar with #TheCallSeries – a series of lectures which promise to be laden full of suave style, deep experience and knowledge, and barrels of laughs!

Mark your calendars as you can not afford to miss such amazing talks – talks that are just a taste of what is to come during the #FiqhofDawah class this Friday which you need to register for very soon before it’s too late. Visit www.almaghrib.org/ireland for more details…

It is with a heavy heart that we write this message to you, and most of you no doubt will have heard of the shocking murder of our brother and sisters in Chapel Hill, North Carolina: Deah Barakat, Yusor Abu-Salha and Razan Abu-Salha.

Innā lillāh, wa innā ilayhi rāji‘ūn. We ask Allah jalla wa ‘alā to forgive their sins, elevate their rank and grant their families the best of patience at such a stressful and challenging time.

On behalf of AlMaghrib Institute, our instructors, staff and all you students as well no doubt, we send our sincerest condolences and prayers to the families and their local community.

These beautiful souls articulated a wonderful expression of their Deen, one of service to their community, and one of charity to their wider family abroad in particular the Syrian Refugees. They were Believers in the pursuit of knowledge, and were fellow students at AlMaghrib Institute like yourselves. It is a truly loss for all the Muslims when such people leave us, may Allah reward them without limit for their efforts.

We know that you will not let them down at their time of need, which is the Funeral Prayer organized for tomorrow. Thus, we strongly encourage all of our students in Raleigh and Charlotte to attend their Janāzah prayer tomorrow (Thursday 12th February) which will be held after Dhuhr Prayers at 1:35pm at the Islamic Association of Raleigh (IAR).

For those who can’t make it, please remember them and their families in your prayers.

Jazākumullāhu khayran.

AlMaghrib IMPACT has really taken our AlMaghrib cities by storm, with more and more joining and desperate to earn good deeds through simple warm acts of charity and benefit which bring such happiness and aid to those in our wider communities.

PS: a very special shout out to some of our chapters who haven’t been taking photos due to the more sensitive nature of their outreach, such as the cities of Birmingham, Bradford and Manchester with their last six visits to the Elderly Peoples’ Homes in their cities, and also Seattle’s clothes and furniture collection services for Homeless and Refugee Services in the city. Well done!

- First up it’s our Calgary chapter and their clothing drive, something essential in this freezing weather!

—–

- And if Calgary didn’t have enough on its plate, it seems they had time to organise a local blood bank drive as well!

—–

- Our Sweden chapter put on a beautiful little food bank as part of an Interfaith effort with local members of the Christian, Sikh and Jewish faith:

—–

- Qabeelat Shams, our London team, put on what seems an absolutely delicious open-air food kitchen over the winter period at Lincoln’s Inn, to what were rave reviews of those who stopped by for a great meal:

—–

- Our Seattle chapter did a great job with their opening soup kitchen, the first of hopefully many more to come:

—–

- And last but certainly not least for this month’s round-up, it was great to see Minnesota back to the top again from the US cities. Their quality has been awesome in this last year, so here’s January’s food drive with a HUGE response:

—–

- And then here’s Minnesota’s most recent Food Shelf initiative in February. Fabulous work ma sha Allah, may Allah reward every single soul who has spent time or money in this great cause to bring benefit to the wider community!

Since 2006, using the J Word’s specially dedicated portal with specific material from our leading instructors, we have been at the forefront of educating thousands of Muslims on what the Islamic faith actually teaches, as opposed to what our adversaries in the shape of ISIS, AlQaeda, Boko Haram, Al-Shabab and any other extremist terrorist movement would have you believe.

The Bay Area on Saturday 10th and Seattle on Sunday 11th will be hosting our Ilmfest Conference to an eager crowd wanting to share in the barakah of our favourite gathering!

We know that one of the most common things we hear from folks around the world is just how much they regret missing out on the LIVE EXPERIENCE of an Ilmfest when it’s held in a faraway city.

But this year, it all changes!

For the first time ever, we will be LIVE STREAMING Seattle’s Ilmfest on Sunday 11th January for a period of 24 hours only covering every session for the price of only $20 allowing your whole family to benefit! But be warned, this will be limited to only 500 spots so be quick!

In another great addition, brother Boonaa Mohammed is recording a vlog – a daily video blog – live from Ilmsummit sharing his own unique perspective as a student coming from abroad, which has already been getting excellent feedback due to it showing the “other” side to the realities behind such a gathering, the students and in particular, the teachers.

Here’s the first episode below, and keep up to date on our Facebook and Twitter pages with a new posting every day, which we will upload to our website here as well:
